Messages from Windows Eventchannel (as of Wazuh 3.8) contain XML data. Analysisd parses it as part of the decoding stage.
This decoder is clearing (freeing) the XML structure either the parsing was successful or not. However, according to the rest of the components that parse XML, the structure must only be cleaned in case of success.
This may produce a double-free condition.
